Question for folks that may know: I was reading up on descriptions of the thermobaric weapons, and I understood them to be similar to BLEVE explosions. Is that an accurate association?

CNN just ran a story saying it was destroyed, though not sure if they were confirming or just reporting the rumorI hope this is false.

Call an ambulance if you're concerned about the roads. I wouldn't fuck around and give that thing a chance to rupture.

On mine, the peg board is on hidden track assembly that's integral/riveted to the main body. There are a couple of angle brackets that you install on the bench when it's raised to secure in place. Not sure if they sell this assembly separately. I installed a couple of Rubbermaid FastTrack shelves above the peg board (high enough not to bump my head) and store my lumber on that. I'd take a picture, but my garage is embarrassingly messy at the moment

I was thinking about doing something like that, but I ended up building a tall workbench on 4in casters and mounted my vice and bench grinder. The table height on the Milwaukee bench sucks for me when I'm doing stand up work. I mainly use it when tinkering with parts and various small mechanical breakdowns (sitting).

I bought the same bench a couple of summers ago. Big fan of it.

Follow up point for those interested: three year olds+ like the songs from Bobs Burgers. Bad Stuff Happens in the Bathroom and Electric Love are the favorites of my kiddos

It's been a while since I've read through this thread and I know it's already been mentioned a few times, but +1 for Bluey. Not only is it bearable to watch, I dare say it's enjoyable. The one where Bandit takes Bluey and Bingo to the pool by himself is as accurate of real life as just about anything I've seen

I was expecting to see a DT thread on this, but did not anticipate most of the comments being of the negative nancy variety. I watched the livestream and thought it was pretty cool for a first attempt with a new model launch vehicle.

Put some music on if she was into that at all.
Damnit, I wish that would have occurred to me when my mom passed. That's a great idea; likely just as much benefit to everyone around- 1

Tickets for the USS Lexington look to be a little less than half that. I remember going to both when I was 12 or so (couple decades ago); I enjoyed both. The Lexington is probably the better value, but I'd probably pay 40 for the aquarium if my kids wanted to go

Did a video log on a well bore through the Edwards and into the middle Trinity last year. I was amazed at the size/scale of solution cavities in the Edwards. Was generally aware of them from reading studies/ reports, but seeing it in-situ was pretty neat. Just happy a spider or salamander didn't stick his head out and smile for the camera.Considering every high rise there is on piles driven into competent limestone, I suspect a lot of inspection reports are being reread. I’m civil, not structural, but the likeliest scenario appears to be foundation failure due to either loss of limestone integrity from saltwater intrusion or corrosion of piles. Either way it doesn’t happen overnight, but limestone can collapse creating those weird looking sink holes that are perfectly circular.
Hell we get solution cavities in our limestone in the recharge zone in the Glen Rose so adding salt would accelerate that prices tremendously.- 1

Mexico City is sinking due to subsidence, and at a relatively large and constant scale. The building collapse was likely differential settlement, uneven settlement along its foundationMexico City is sinking at rates far beyond an inch a decade. I guess it depends on the areal extent of the sink rate. Perhaps a 2” sink directly under a support column is enough for something catastrophic.
Like most catastrophic disasters this will follow the Swiss cheese model of errors. A multitude of minor issues all lined up for something tragic

You're not the only one. I didn't realize it's 'seed' until I read your post aboveCrap, I’ve always read his username as works with weed unless there is one of those around here also. Learn something new every day. -
Pretty nice rain in 78729, currently

Well duh, that's why he's wanting to equip them with front-end loaders.I'm sorry, but I don't think equipping every homeless person with a backhoe is going to work.- 2

No, grain elevator fires are due to combustion/ explosion of the organic fine particulate. The pole fires are caused because the mist adheres to the dust (not heavy enough to wash the dust away) that accumulated and creates a grounding path.

Not sure what got me started on it, but I went on kick sophomore and junior year of school where I read through all of McMutry's books outside of the Lonesome Dove series, and then went through everything Cornac McCarthy had put out up to that point.Probably in the vast minority here but my favorite work of his is “All My Friends Are Going to be Steangers.”
RIP.
All my Friends and The Crossing have come to mean more to me the older I get. I re read them both evey couple of years.- 2

I generally agree with the last 2/3 of your post. I've thought about the first part a bit before and think you may be overestimating the referenced pilots access to such knowledge. For example, I doubt few, if any, F-4 pilots would have been aware or have the acknowledge to identify the SR-71 had they crossed paths in the early 60s.Except these are reports from Navy and Air Force pilots. These are people more knowledgeable about aircrafts than your average fat, dumb citizen. They know the current limitations with materials and thrust. To pull off the speed and Gs required by these UFOs would require multi-generational step functions in technological and material advancements.
When NASA makes advancements in technology and materials, it's a relatively short cycle to those advancements making their way to commercial, consumer goods. None of these UFO advancements have made it anywhere close to our everyday products. Same would be said if these were Russian or Chinese advancements. Humans are not prone to keeping multi step level advancements sealed in a box for decades.
